How many hours per week must the Administrator work on administrative duties?

• A. 40 hours
• B. 20 hours
• C. 30 hours
• D. 50 hours

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the administrator’s minimum time commitment to oversee facility operations. The required baseline is 40 hours per week devoted to administrative duties. This ensures consistent on-site leadership, regulatory compliance, staff supervision, budgeting, and overall resident care oversight.

Why these other options aren’t the standard: 20 hours is too little to provide full administrative oversight; 30 hours still falls short of a full-time administrative commitment; 50 hours goes beyond the typical minimum and isn’t stated as the required baseline, though it could occur in busier periods.
